Took awhile for me to respond to that. I have been to Acuna many times. When I was engineering for Honeywell, we had a facility down there, and a warehouse across the river in Del Rio Texas. I sent more damn aluminum rejection parts to Acuna then anyone in the history of manufacturing. Well it just seemed that way cause they had 400 inspectors at the door looking for any little piece of insignicant crap to reject my parts for cause they wanted my aluminum line. And nearly all of the time, my parts were good. Bad sittuation. Next time your in Acuna, go to the Honeywell facility, ask for a quality engineer named Jorge Pena, and you tell him that Bill from Frankfort said to kiss his ass. He will know what you mean.
Depending on how far off course we get and how outta hand the posse is, we may wind up in Mexico anyway. I have four of the baddest hombres this side of the Mississippi coming with me.

HAHAHA. How in the hell did I know you were an Acuna kind of kid? I could just tell. As you know, its where all us red-necks who like to drink go, to get away from it all. Whats cool is that theplace hasnt changed in 100 years. Closes to the old fronteer town thats not all touristy. Dig the border towns tho. Kinda dangerous, and I dig the rush. Acuna and Nuevo Laredo are my places. (Never been to Juarez). Matamoros is a bit too dangerous for me. Its not a good week if there isnt at least three or four murders there. Not really wanting any part of that. (interesting side note about Matamoros - where everyone goes for spring break if you are at South Padre Island - we were there a few years ago and with a brother's blood brother who happens to be a student at UT, and a bit of a "dealer" if you catch my implication. Anyway, we were treated like royalty everywhere we went. Just lucky we all didnt end up will bullets in our skulls. )
I do dig the border tho. Such a rush. Also gotta love that Liquor is about Half oif what it costs in the states. A litre of Cuervo Gold only runs about $11.00 US over there.
But ya'll damn well better swing through this part of the state. I see a bunch of innertubes, severl ice chests full of beer and the Guadalupe river in your future.
